Frightening true story about two mountain climbers, one of whom must cut the rope that holds him to the other before slipping into a mountain crevasse. Really makes you wonder what you would do in that situation!
There is lots of technical mountain climbing terms in the book (a glossary in the back of the book helps), but the story is so compelling that you can get past it easily.

Story of Joe Simpson and Simon Yates and their climb to the top of a 21,000 foot peak in the Andes when disaster strikes. How both men overcame the torments of those harrowing days is an epic tale of fear, suffering, and survival; a poignant testament to unshakable courage and friendship.

Riveting first person account of a mountain climb gone wrong. I am not that sports minded, but once I got over the climbing vocabulary that I wasn't familiar with, I couldn't put this book down.

Gripping story, very fast read. A movie was made of this story, worth watching.
